This book is an essential reference for all students of architecture, design and the built environment. It provides a convenient single source for all the key texts in the fast developing discipline of the philosophy of technology. It focuses on the interplay between technology and society and considers the impact of technology on fields as diverse as: art and visual culture; politics, the environment, gender and the hottest topic of all in today's digitally mediated world - the promise of a virtual future inside the fluid 'space' of the computer. Each section is introduced with a brief critical commentary, situating the readings in a historical and theoretical context. The collection draws on the work of many of the key figures in twentieth century philosophy and cultural theory, including Martin Heidegger, Walter Benjamin, Michel Foucault, Marshall McLuhan, Jean Baudrillard and Paul Virilio as well as a range of writers at the cutting-edge of contemporary digital culture such Manuel de Landa, Marcos Novak and Hubert Dreyfus.
